The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume XXIII

Mogey and Smush were walking in the park one day, though it was nowhere near the merry merry month of May. It was in fact the merry merry month of February. Anyhow, they encountered a sign posted on the lamp post.

ROCKET BUILDING CONTEST, the sign said, FIRST TO THE MOON WINS $1,000. $2000 Entry Fee.

"I'm in!" Smush said. "Let's build us a rocket!"

"But that doesn't sound like a very good deal," Mogey said. "Even if you win you lose money. Not to mention that we know nothing about building rockets. Plus, where are you going to get $2000 from?"

"The cogs are turning, Mogey," Smush said, patting him on the back and pulling out his crowbar as they passed the local piggy bank repository. "Don't you worry, the cogs are turning."
